Hello Marco, Monday, April 19, 2004, 5:22:26 PM, you wrote: MS> I want to prevent the user to use the browser's back-/refresh-button in MS> my multipage registration form (as well as in other forms). How can I do MS> this? There is NO foolproof way to do this. You can open your form in a new browser window that does not display those buttons, but you still cannot protect against someone right-clicking the form and then picking "Back" or "Refresh". Even with JavaScript that disables right-clicking, users can circumvent this simply by disabling JavaScript. The more logical solution is to code a form system that can handle users "going back" a page without erroring. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
